I have business in South Florida next week and I'm flying down early Sunday A.M (6:30am flight)

Originally, I was going fishing with a co-worker and would not have to pay, but those plans fell through. I have now decided to bite the bullet and part with the money b/c I don't get to South Florida too often...

I was given a guide's name who could take me out for some fly action in two areas. Biscayne bay (permit and bones) or Flamingo (reds and snook).

Here is the dillemma -

The guide says Biscayne is closer but we may not have but a few chances to catch bone fish and permit - spooky fish and the time of day I'll be arriving, etc..

Flamingo will likely be more action, but I can catch reds in Georgia...

Do I go for the most action or gamble on catching a bone fish or permit on my first flats fishing experience?

Thoughts?

Does anyone know any good guides in addition to the one I've comer across?

I have never fished for either.....yet. But, if it was me, I think i would go for the Bones. It's like you said, you can catch Reds in GA. So you may not get a lot of action, but you will be in an enviroment you have never fished before. Just my $.2.

You might want to pick up a copy of Jimmy Jacob's book on fishing the Atlantic Coast - - he covers the coast from N. Carolina all the way to the keys. I know you are getting a guide, but the book may help the decision. And, it's great info for all those other locations, as well. ---JCK---
